Quique Setien’s journey in Barcelona ends with a crushing 8-2 defeat in the Champions League to Bayern Munich.
The Barcelona head coach has been sacked following their defeat by Bayern Munich in Champions League.
Setien’s position was untenable in the Barca board’s eyes after the 8-2 quarter-final defeat at Lisbon on Friday.
It brought to an end the seven-month reign of the 61-year-old, with club legend and Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman expected to replace him.
“The board of directors has agreed that Quique Setien ceases to be the coach of the first team,” a statement from the club read.
“This is the first decision within the framework of a broad restructuring of the first team, which will be made from the consensus between the current technical secretariat and the new coach, which will be announced in the next few days.”
